BD 208 - Formulation and Review of Policies

The adoption of policies is a responsibility of the Board. The primary responsibility for proposing Board policies rests with the Executive Officer; however, policies may be proposed by any member of the Board, by a staff member with the approval of the Executive Officer, or by a citizen or group of citizens in Merged Area IX.

Policy proposals shall be submitted to the Board, through the Executive Officer, prior to a regularly scheduled meeting. Final action on new policies or amended policies shall be taken no earlier than the next meeting following the one at which the proposal is made. In the event that the Board determines immediate action on a Board policy is in the best interests of the District, the Board may, by unanimous consent, waive a second reading of the new or amended policy.

The Board will review policies every three years to ensure relevance to current practices and compliance with the Code of Iowa.
